Additional Features
6066-T6 Aluminum Frame
Top-shelf, double and triple-butted, heat-treated 6066-T6 aluminum tubing is used throughout the frame. This 6000-series aluminum has better strength and fatigue characteristics than 6061 and 7000-series aluminums, allowing for a stronger and lighter overall frame. Additionally, the tubing is strategically shaped and formed for additional stiffness and strength optimization in key stress areas
Mukluk Geometry
Mukluk’s geometry works extremely well in all conditions and use cases, whether it be riding groomed singletrack at your local trail, exploring a beach coastline, or embarking across the wild frozen expanses of Alaska. At its core, we use the shortest chainstay possible with a headtube angle and fork offset that place the rider’s center of gravity further over the rear wheel. This location and combination of front and rear center is key to getting a fat bike that is stable, steers well in loose conditions, and still feels nimble and agile despite the massive wheels and tires. A low bottom bracket is also key, to keep the rider’s center of gravity low, and to make dabbing, dismounting, and remounting easier
26 x 4.8” Wheel & Tire Size
Mukluk rolls on 26 x 4.8” wheels and tires. This huge tire delivers massive traction, stability, and optimum flotation on soft surfaces such as ungroomed snow or loose sand
Bearpaw Carbon Fork
This full-carbon fork features a 150 x 15mm thru-axle that boosts stiffness and improves steering precision. The fork also features our Three-Pack mounts for accessorizing with Anything Cages or water bottle cages
Alternator Dropouts V1.0
The Alternator dropout delivers incredible drivetrain versatility. Run singlespeed or geared, QR or thru-axle, freehub or Rohloff. Set the Alternator dropouts all the way forward for a shorter wheelbase that results in quick and nimble handling, or set back for more stability – the power is yours. See our Alternator page for more info
Front Fork Wheel & Tire Options
The fork included with this frame works with the following wheel and tire combinations: 26 x 3.8 – 4.8” on up to a 100mm rim / 27.5 x 3.0 – 4.0” on an 80mm rim / 29 x 2.3 – 3.0” on a 50mm rim
Rear Wheel & Tire Options
